After watching all endings I must say... I am confused.
The game surely communitcates something different in various dialogues than later. Ok, maybe the dialogue reflects what each character is thinking, but... this is still a bit messy and as player I have no real idea where I stand.
All the stuff at the end pretty much reflects that the "soul" that you suck up is not what is tied to the Void King. But that creates new questions:
You have a body.
You have a source-soul that goes to the Hall of Echoes after death, unless someone has absorbed it.
You have another... hum... soul (?) that is tied to the Void King if you joined the Covenant?
Uuh, what? Ok, let us assume you only have a body and a soul, but if someone absorbs the soul you are denied the Hall of Echoes, but are sent to the Void instead. But you still stay completely intact (personality, memory), so there's actually no real destruction of the soul in the first place. Then this distinction makes little sense and it really makes no sense that it is presented as "crime" to suck souls, as they are basically staying intact anyway. And for those "Black Ring" guys I destroyed it makes no difference alltogether as they were sworn to the Void anyway and now go there anyway? I am utterly confused - in a bad way.
While it might be there's some solid lore behind this, I rather think it is a rather massive screwup in the writing.
